Very fine Pu-erh tea. Smooth and mild, pleasantly earthy. Even the third brew still tastes good!

Get it just right

Tradition, brewed
Prepare in a gaiwan the traditional Chinese way – or steep the leaves directly and pour into a serving pot once steeped. Pu-Erh thrives on repetition: you can brew it twice.

How your tea is made

After harvesting and drying, Pu-Erh tea goes through a special fermentation process called wet piling. The leaves are piled up, covered, and regularly turned in a controlled warm and humid environment. This carefully managed process gives Shou Pu-Erh tea its unique and complex flavor.

FAQ about Vintage Lotus

What type of tea is Vintage Lotus?

Vintage Lotus is a loose-leaf Shou Pu-Erh tea from Yunnan, China. This fermented tea speciality combines the earthy and woody notes typical of Pu-Erh with a smooth, rounded cup and a gentle natural sweetness.

What does Shou Pu-Erh mean?

Shou Pu-Erh refers to the ripened, carefully fermented style of Pu-Erh tea. In Vintage Lotus, this traditional process creates a dark infusion, a smooth texture and the tea’s distinctive depth of flavour.

What does Vintage Lotus taste like?

Vintage Lotus is full-bodied, smooth and layered. Its flavour profile brings together woody, earthy and lightly sweet notes that are especially valued by lovers of high-quality Shou Pu-Erh.

What quality defines Vintage Lotus?

Vintage Lotus is made exclusively from hand-plucked buds of the Yunnan large-leaf Mengku cultivar. This careful leaf selection gives the tea an elegant structure, a refined mouthfeel and expressive aromatic depth.

How is Vintage Lotus processed?

After harvesting, the leaves are withered, heated, rolled and dried. Vintage Lotus then undergoes the typical Shou Pu-Erh fermentation process in a carefully controlled warm and humid environment, which gives the tea its distinctive depth and character.

How do I prepare Vintage Lotus properly?

You can prepare Vintage Lotus traditionally in a gaiwan or in a teapot. As this loose-leaf Pu-Erh is well suited to multiple infusions, you can enjoy how its flavour develops from one steeping to the next.

What is the difference between Shou and Sheng Pu-Erh?

Shou Pu-Erh such as Vintage Lotus is carefully fermented and usually tastes darker, softer and more earthy in the cup. Sheng Pu-Erh matures naturally and often shows a fresher, livelier character with a different flavour evolution over time.
